Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden decrease in kidney function, leading to the accumulation of waste products in the blood, electrolyte imbalances, and fluid overload. It can develop rapidly over hours or days and often occurs in hospitalised patients. Pathophysiology: - Damage to Kidney Tissues: AKI results from injury to the renal tissues, which may involve the glomeruli, tubules, or interstitial tissue. - Reduced Blood Flow: Decreased perfusion to the kidneys impairs their ability to filter blood and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. - Obstruction: Blockages in the urinary tract can lead to back pressure and damage to the Electrolyte Balance, Acute Kidney Injury, Kidney Function, Fluid And Electrolytes, Kidney Damage, Nursing Education, Urinary Tract, Nursing Students, Blood Flow
